Here’s a fascinating one. Jason Calacanis — founder of Santa Monica-based Mahalo (and Internet celebrity)–just pointed out that a user on Mahalo has asked someone to figure out the correlation of BMI (body mass index) of startup founders versus startup outcome.

Sounds to me like the old statistical game of trying to correlate women’s hemlines to the stock indexes…

That said, another local CEO, Jason Nazar, has said earlier this year he went from 165 to 210 as a result of his startup–Calacanis weighed in on the subject himself before he quit regularly blogging.

Anyone want to haul their bathroom scale to the next local startup event and start tallying weights/heights? (Though, I think you might need “pre exit” and “post exit” weights)
